Hello, i was trying to get to sleep last night, and i got a thinking.
You see i'm currently running Win XP. But i'd also like to run win98 as well on the same machine, so as i don't have to move from Box to Box.
(Yes i'm lazy)
Anyhow i was thinking that if i rename the win.com file in XP to something else like winxp.com.
Then when i try to install win98Se. XP wouldn't be detected when the setup does it's scan for another Operating System.
And all i had to do then is specify another folder on the Drive for the win98 Files to go.
Eg:c:\windows
(XP files are here)
if i copy the win98 files to
Eg:c:\other\windows
That way it's in another directory.
And then i would change the 98's win.com to 98.com
And when you try to boot up the system i would just have to type the relevant .com to load the windows i want..
eg:if i wanted to load XP then at the command prompt i would just type winxp.com
or if i wanted to load 98 then at the command prompt i would just type 98.com
Now is this at all possible? Or should i just stop being so slackand move from one Box to the other??
Any other ideas or suggestion are Welcome.
And thank's for taking the time to read this crazy idea.
cheers
